Great, thanks! I'm off the next few days doing the Disaster Recovery drill bit, but I'll grab it next Monday and take a look.
One of the other problems I have with our current setup this will help with -- we also configure at least one spare access point for a site. Which means that if they need six, we ship seven. Some of the plant people fire up the spare in an office and we can see it. Some of the sites wait until one of the installed systems to break before the open the box with the spare. And them we've got one site that just seems to loose the spares . . .
I will say that this kind of support and service far exceeds anything I've seen in a commercial product for years.
Thanks!
Tom

The problem I've got is that we configure the access points here, then ship them to the remote sites for install. They're down until the guys at the remote site get around to unpacking them, renting a scissor lift, and installing them up in the rafters. Once they're plugged in, they're live and a connectivity failure is a problem.
So what you're really after is something like "disable them until we see an OK status". [snip] It seems fairly simple to implement ...
It's in the next snapshot, although I would caution people against using this in a production setup. It works for me, but there are still some things being worked on, and some things that need more testing.
